ENGINE STAND AND BURNING-IN MACHINE.

To all whom-it may concern:

Be it known that I, ITENRY BEHRENs, acitizen of the United States, and resident of Peshtigo, in the county of Mfarinette and State of WVisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Engine. Stands and Burning-In Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a 1111 clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to a stand and burn ing-in machine for engines of the internal combustion class, and its object broadly is to. provide a device by which the engine will be more conveniently manipulated.

Oneof its special objects is to provide a. stand which is universally adjustable so as to receive any size or type of engine, and to hold it in any position which may be convenient for the mechanic working thereon.

Another object is to provide a device which may be adjusted to any crank shaft to drive the same for'the purpose stated.

In describing my invention reference will be had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is an end elevation of the device.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an end elevational view on the.

opposite end from Figure 1.

Figure 4 is aesectional detail view on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a sectional detail View on the line 5-5 of Figure 2.

Figure 6 is a sectional detail on the line 6-6 of Figure 5, and

Figure 7 is a front elevation of one end of the device.

Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the various views.

The device of which my invention forms a part comprises a base 10 supported on rollers 11. On this base is mounted a frame comprising end members 12 and 13, which are rigidly connected by the longitudinal Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J une 20; 1 922;

Application filed. 0ctober28,

1920. Serial No. 420,102.

through the bracket 23 is a: rod 28 which is held in any desiredv position of adjustment by the set screw 29. The upper end ofthe rod 28 carries 311131061; 30, which supports a rod 81 which is held in any desired position by the set screw 32. On the end of therod 31 is carrieda block 33, which supports the clamp. jaws 34, the jaws being adjusted by the screws 35 and 36.

The circular members 18 and. 19. are held in the: cradle by the complementarysemicircular members 37 and 38, which are adjustably attached to the cradle members by means of bolts 39. The head of one of the bolts 39v carries a pin- 40, on which is mounted the eccentric 41 which has a projecting arm 42 to which is pivotally. connected a rod 43. This. rod. 43 is yieldingly heldin its lowermost position by the compression spring'44. Thus it will be seen that the circular members 18 and 19 which carry the 43iagainst the tension of. the spring 44 thus releasing, the circular members 18 and 19 so that they may be rotated. 1

integrally connected to the end members 12 are the vertical guide ways 46 on which slides the frame 47, the latter being adjusted by means of a screw 48 which engages the screw threaded bracket 49 on the frame 12. The frame member 47 is provided with the horizontal guide ways 50 on which slides the frame 51 the latter being adjusted by means of a set screw 52 which is mounted in the bracket 53 rigidly attached to the frame 47. Thus it will be seen, that the frame 51 may be adjusted horizontally and vertically to any position desired.

The frame 51 carries a horizontal shelf 54 on which is mounted the motor M, which drives the gear 55. The gear 55 drives the gear 56 which is mounted on the shaft 5'7, which in turn is connected through the transmission mechanism 58 to the shaft 59. Said shaft 59 is provided at its opposite end with a member 60 which engages the crank shaft of the engine E, as shown in broken lines in Figure 2. that as many clamps may be provided as are It will be understood I have described the principle of my in-' vention, together with the apparatus which I now consider represents the best embodi-" ment thereof, butI desire it understood that my invention is not limited to that particu lar form of the device herewith shown and described, the same being merely illustrative, but that the invention includes all equivalent instrumentalities coming within thescope of the appended claims.

I claim: l

1. In a device of the class described, a frame, means for clamping an engine thereon and means for turning the crank shaft of said engine, said last named means being adjustable horizontally and vertically so that it may be adjusted to the crank shaft of any size or type of engine.

2. In 'a device of the class described, a frame, .a supplemental frame rotatably mounted thereon, bars mounted on said supplemental frame and adjustable toward and away from each other, clamps carriedby said bars, said clamps being universally adjustable, and means'for turning the crank shaft of an engine held by said clamps, said.

last named means being adjustable horizontally and vertically so that it may be adjusted to the crank shaft of any size or type of engine.

3. In a device of the class described, a frame, a supplemental frame rotatably mounted thereon, bars mounted onsaid supmounted thereon, bars mounted on-said supplemental frame and adjustable toward and away from each other, clamps carried by said bars, said clamps being capable of a bodily rectilinear adjustment and also capable of angular adjustment, and means for turning the crank shaft of an engine held by said clamps, said last named means being adjustable horizontally and vertically so that it may be adjusted to the crank shaft of any size or type of engine.

5. In a device of the class described, a frame, a supplemental frame rotatably mounted thereon, bars mounted on said supplemental frame and adjustable toward and away from each other, clamps carried by said bars, said clamps being capable of a bodily rectilinear adjustment and also capable of angular adjustment in two planes, and means for turning the crank shaft of an engine held by said clamps, said last named means being adjustable horizontally and vertically so that it may be adjusted to the crank shaft of any size or type of engine.

' In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Peshtigo, in

the "county of Marinette and State of'VVisconsin.

HENRY BEHRENS.
